LIFE FOR A POT DEALER? COME ON ...

To the editor:

I sure hope the citizens and taxpayers of Michigan and Indiana feel safer 
now that marijuana grower Chad Robinson has been given a life sentence 
("Dale man given life sentence in drug case," Nov. 10). Robinson's room and 
board will wind up costing the taxpayers about three-quarters of a million 
dollars (30 years multiplied by $25,000 per year).

Even though marijuana has never been documented to kill a single person, 
there is always a first time. Terrorists may be able to crash our passenger 
planes into our buildings, killing thousands, but at least a pot grower 
will be off the streets.
